My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

On the other end of the phone came Mr. Wu's furious outburst: "Look at the mess you've made! Now! Right now! Immediately! Resolve this! Take it down from the trending topics! Otherwise, you don't need to come to work tomorrow!"

Jiang Jie put down his phone in a daze, completely confused as to why President Wu was cursing at him. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he hurriedly opened Weibo's trending topics.

When Jiang Jie saw the trending keyword related to himself, he was completely dumbfounded!

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

……

For Lin Fan, today was another painful day.

Every time the big factory had a holiday, Lin Fan would have to go to Xia Yan's recording studio to suffer. Lin Fan didn't know what to say about himself, but thinking that this was his long-term meal ticket, he couldn't help but put in more effort. He was clear-headed about exchanging temporary suffering for a lifetime of enjoyment.

Just before Lin Fan nearly threw up again, Xia Yan was finally satisfied. The curse of "one more time" stopped, and instead, a voice as beautiful as celestial music said, "That's a pass."

Lin Fan couldn't hold his breath any longer and collapsed to the ground: It's finally over, I feel alive again.

After finishing the final touches and copying the audio source, Xia Yan was the first to leave the recording studio.

Lian Xiaoyu then attentively offered Xia Yan a glass of warm water: "You've worked hard, come and have some warm water to soothe your throat. Come, sit here, let me give our little fairy Yan Yan a massage."

Xia Yan took the water glass and readily accepted Lian Xiaoyu's attentive service: "Could you massage my shoulders? They're a little sore."

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Fan followed behind, noticing that the two sisters completely ignored him, and couldn't help but ask, "What about me? Shouldn't I be the one who's had the hardest time? Am I just being ignored like this? Don't I even deserve a glass of water?"

Lian Xiaoyu glanced at Lin Fan: "The cup is on the table, pour it yourself. Don't tell me you don't even know how to use a water dispenser."

"This discrimination is just too blatant!"

Lian Xiaoyu chuckled, "Didn't you say you wanted to open a guesthouse only for single ladies? I'm just giving you a preview of how single ladies interact with a jerk like you. You need to get used to it; the prettier the single lady, the more aloof she is! If you can't even handle this kind of differential treatment, how are you going to interact with single ladies?"

Lin Fan was speechless: "You, you're something else!"

So what if I pour my own water? Just like Lian Xiaoyu said, consider it a rehearsal!

Xia Yan watched Lian Xiaoyu and Lin Fan bickering, and smiled without saying a word.

Lin Fan poured himself a glass of water and sat down on the sofa opposite Xia Yan.

"Yan Yan, today's recording time was much shorter than last time. It was only 5 PM and we finished recording, less than 10 hours. Last time we recorded until 10 PM. Has Lin Fan improved?"

That's true, and Xia Yan didn't hold back her praise: "That's right, Lin Fan's singing skills have improved a lot since last time. Plus, I prepared the accompaniment in advance this time, so we had a lot more time. However, the recording quality this time is even better than last time. Congratulations, Lin Fan, from today onwards, you can call yourself a singer."

Lin Fan was overjoyed to hear Xia Yan's praise.

Whether or not he is a singer, Lin Fan doesn't really care. He only cares whether this song "Keep Walking in the Rain" can bring him long-term income.

For Xia Yan, these two songs are the foundation for Lin Fan's foothold in the music scene. Of course, the more and more solid the foundation, the better! Currently, Lin Fan's songwriting ability is quite good. If he can maintain this level and write songs that are up to standard, then Lin Fan will definitely have a place in the music scene in the future!

No, with just these two songs, Lin Fan has already secured a place in the music industry! These two songs are enough for Lin Fan to live comfortably for the rest of his life!

Of course, if Lin Fan were a little more diligent, he could earn even more.

However, for Lin Fan, songs are just his long-term meal ticket and the source of funds to realize his life ideals. Whether he works hard or not depends entirely on his mood!

"Thank you very much, Miss Xia. It's all thanks to you." Lin Fan decided to engage in some mutual flattery, since he had indeed received help from Xia Yan. "If it weren't for Miss Xia's guidance, I wouldn't have made such progress. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Xia Yan gave a bright smile: "If you want to thank me, it's simple, just write me a song."

Lin Fan didn't quite catch what Xia Yan said and subconsciously asked, "What...did you say?"

Lian Xiaoyu heard it clearly, but she couldn't believe her ears: "Yan Yan! You're asking Fan Fan to sing a song?"

"Yes." Xia Yan nodded. "I really like both of Lin Fan's songs, and I believe that Lin Fan's talent goes beyond that. So I hope to invite Lin Fan to tailor-make a song for me. After all, although my new album is almost finished, I always feel that something is missing. So, I hope that Lin Fan can bring me a surprise."

Xia Yan looked at Lin Fan: "So, would you be willing to write a song for me?"

Lin Fan met Xia Yan's gaze, and his heart couldn't help but pound wildly. Such a beautiful face full of sincerity, such beautiful eyes full of pleading, staring straight at you, who could resist!

Lin Fan didn't know if others could withstand it, but he himself couldn't.

In a daze, I heard Lian Xiaoyu cheer, "Yan Yan, you're amazing! You got this lazybones to get to work with just one sentence! I can't wait to hear the song Lin Fan wrote for you!"

Xia Yan smiled, looking intently at Lin Fan: "I'm looking forward to it too."

Lin Fan was stunned. What was going on? His brother just agreed? Agreed to what? Write a song for Xia Yan?

No way!

Seeing Lin Fan's regretful face, Xia Yan worried that his laziness might flare up and he'd go back on his word, so she quickly said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You can't go back on your promise. You know, single ladies hate men who don't keep their word!"

Lin Fan hesitated: "Is that so?"

Lian Xiaoyu nodded solemnly: "Yes! That's right! Single ladies hate men who go back on their word and then pretend they don't remember!"

Just as he was thinking of an excuse for not remembering what he had promised, Lin Fan awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and said, "Okay, I'll try my best..."

Seeing that Lin Fan was still struggling, Xia Yan added another incentive: "Don't worry, if the quality of this song meets the standard, the fee for inviting the song won't be low. I will give you a satisfactory figure."

Lin Fan instantly cast aside any hesitation in his heart and said confidently, "Money doesn't matter. I love making friends through singing. Don't worry! The quality is guaranteed!"

Seeing how Xia Yan had managed to suppress Lin Fan's laziness with just a few words, Lian Xiaoyu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Girl! Well done!"

However, Lian Xiaoyu couldn't help but glance at Lin Fan's "making friends through songs".

"Ha, men!"
